| No. You can shrink the fat in your boobs and wind up looking deflated but the breast tissue stays. |

| Mine shrink a ton with weight loss. |

| When I lost the weight I gained during pregnancy (~40 lbs), my breasts were among the first parts to shrink, although I was nursing exclusively. Went from D cup to B cup within a couple of months. I am not sure if that would have happened anyway just from giving birth, but I think a lot of the weight gained during pregnancy was stored there. |

It's hard to say. You can't pick and target where the fat loss will come from. It might come entirely from your legs and butt, or your face, or stomach, or chest, or arms, or wherever. Who knows?
But as someone who's lost a large amount of weight, my breasts definitely shrunk a whole lot. But they're not a "cute" small - they're like deflated balloons. They're saggy, and unattractive. I'll hopefully get surgery some day to fix them, because overall I look AMAZING and fit in clothes. But naked? Gross, saggy, deflated boobies. |

| They will shrink. If you start to loose a lot of weight they will also look saggy. Start lifting some weights to help with the muscles underneath. That may help a little. |

start to LOSE weight
Loose is an adjective. Lose is a verb. |

| Thanks PPs. I am a 36G. Not a fan. I am about 35 lbs overweight. Wondered if I try to lose 50 lbs would these suckers just go away... |

With 35 pounds to lose, you may go down a cup size, perhaps two, but you're not going to get down to a C cup just by losing weight. Sorry.

I lot 50+ lbs. Went from a 38DD to a 30E. Cup size is weird. My breasts are definitely much, much smaller - but on the cup "scale" I went up. But if I hold my 38DDs and 30E's up to one another, the E's would be considerably smaller in size. Bras and breast sizes are incredibly weird. |

If the boobs give you any back pain, you might look into reduction surgery. Insurance might cover it. Yes, it's major surgery, and yes, there is recovery time, but the women I know who've had it done (especially my friend who was an H) are so much happier now. They find it easier to exercise and to sleep, and they look thinner now that their boobs aren't too big for their frames.
(I'm an A, so I have the opposite problem - I was a B but became an A after pregnancy. ugh.) |

| Sure. I lost 30 pounds my freshman year in college and went from a 38C to a 34B. Still a 34B 19 years later. |

I had a reduction and a lift and am thrilled. Losing weight did not decrease my breast size. The recovery was not bad. I had surgery on a Thursday and was back at work on Tuesday. Am very happy with the results! |

Cup size (A, B, C, D, etc.) is proportionate to band size, so the same cup size in different band sizes will not be the same size. |
